Moabi's love for the game started when she was still at primary school. But her talent and sheer commitment to the game saw her carve a special niche for herself. She has already captained the Proteas, the senior national team, in several major international events.

The ravishing 27-year-old, a centre and wing attacker par excellence, took time to talk to Sowetan yesterday.

Q: You were a good tennis player at school and also did not disappoint in athletics, so why did you choose netball?

A: It is true that I played good tennis and I also shone at various meets in athletics, but I chose netball because it is a team sport. Though we have individual talent in netball, I always like to play as a collective.

Q: We know that your love for netball is indisputable and we were taken aback on learning you quit the sport about three years ago. What was the reason?

A: I got a new job and I wanted to familiarise myself with the working environment. I also became pregnant so I decided to take a break to bond with my child.

Q: Where are you working?

A: I work as a recruitment consultant for Professional Assignment Group in Sandton. I'm happy to work for the group because my employers understand my hectic netball schedule. They accommodate me.

Q: How many years were you out of netball?

A: It was not a long time. I returned in 2007.

Q: Had you not decided on netball, what sport would you have chosen?

A: It would definitely have been tennis.

Q: What car do you drive?

A: BMW 1 Series.

Q: If money were no issue, which car would you be driving?

A: BMW X6.

Q: How do you relax?

A: Spending ample time with my little boy Bokamoso. I also find it relaxing at the gym.
